Clarkson Horizontal Redefined in Metric

[Jasonb]

Having felt for a long time that anyone looking for their first casting kit will get lead down the imperial route even though it may not be familiar to them I decided to redraw the Clarkson 1″ x 1.5″ Horizontal in metric and while I was about it sort out the few anomalies and missing details that the original drawings suffer from.

An updated metric drawing set should soon be available from Blackgates, the castings are available now. It’s not a bad buy when compared to a similar size Stuart No 8 and the cost of materials and fixings is still not going to bring the cost up to that of the Stuart. Build should be in ME at some time in the hopefully not too distant future.

Just a quick update to say that Blackgates are now able to supply a set of my metric drawings which comprise 14 A4 sheets, one GA one with 3D views, and the remaining 12 of the individual parts. Just mention you want the metric ones when ordering a set of castings.

I'm also half way through writing up the build which will go into ME Mag and I will also give Blackgates permission to include that with any future kits sold.

In time I will also do a set of drawings for the vertical as I now have a set of castings for that, not sure when as another little Clarkson has caught my eye and is now nearer the top of the list.
